The weather has been beautiful, and Ammon has pretty much single handidly been getting us outside to enjoy it. We've had fun playing Frisbee, throwing the football around, playing in the leaves, and, yesterday, they were burying each other up to the neck in the sand.
I've been feeling better, I still get sick if I eat the wrong thing, but mostly, if I don't eat too much and get outside some I do pretty good. Some smells still get to me, but my entire house doesn't smell so much. I have been feeling less negative about being pregnant again too. It's just with Landon still peeing on the couch now and then, etc. I just am not sure what we were thinking? Obviously we weren't. Anyway, I saw a cute tiny pair of boots at the store the other day and was able to think of them as so cute and not be worried over the little lifetime added to our family, and looking through baby magazines sometimes helped -sometimes added to my negativity. But really things are looking up.
The boys all left late last night for California. It is kinda quiet around here with Adria at school. She wants to have a sleep over tonight, but what am I going to do next week? I used to quilt or piece, knit or crochet, read, scrapbook, exercise, bake, or clean, but nothing draws me anymore (the thought of some things even makes me physically sick sometimes), I think I will try some of this anyway, it may be one of those 'once I get started I'm hooked' things, it's just getting started.
There is always shopping for maternity clothes. I read about a knit band that fits around your current pants so you can wear them unbuttoned until you grow into actual maternity clothes, do you know where you find those? Not with the maternity clothes at Target anyway. Maybe I'll check online.

I'm glad that you are feeling better. It sounds like we are feeling pretty similarly. Like, I still feel icky, but its just not as intense. It's still hard to make myself do anything, so my apartment is a disater area, and we've been eating a lot of junk. Yikes.
I made this ham and bean soup from Mom's recipe book Megan put together - it is really easy, and so satisfying (sp?). You would have to halve the recipe or so, though.
I read about those bands when I was pregnant, but I never got around to getting one. They are called BellaBands. You can find the website here: http://www.ingridandisabel.com/ and from there find the stores. Is Midvale close to you at all? If not there's always salt lake, park city or sandy.
I'm glad you are feeling a little better. I'm excited for your baby, if that helps at all. I held a newborn a few weeks ago, and it just got me so excited for you and melanie (heh, but not enough for me to go through the sickness myself. how selfish of me.) anyway, sending you lots of happy sunshine sprinkles!
Thanks!
I am glad you are excited - you can hold him/her anytime! I am already thinking this child will be passed off a lot more than any other. I've even debated about bottle feeding, the only catch being 'they' find fewer allergies in children who are breast fed.
Hey Monica-
Congrats on being expectant! I'm glad you and Mel are feeling much better.
